“…In order to locate the UWB capsule and receive the data obtained in the human body, design of on-body UWB antenna with high gain and excellent directivity has also become a challenge [17]. At the same time, because the misalignment of the transmitting antenna will weaken the received signal strength, the antenna array on the receiving side is a good solution for WCE system [18]. Compensate for fading channel loss through diversity reception technology and other methods, thereby improving the reliability of transmission in fading channels [19][20].…”

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) systems are used to capture images of the human digestive tract for medical applications, especially the noninvasive diagnostics and treatments of small intestinal diseases. As an important part of the WCE system, the antenna plays a crucial role in transmitting and receiving data. To transmit diagnostic real-time images from the inside body with high resolution at a high data transmission speed, ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna designs for the WCE system have been proposed by researchers in recent years. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are few papers to systematically review the UWB antennas used in the WCE system. In this paper, a comprehensive review of different UWB antenna designs for WCE system is presented. In-body and on-body UWB antennas are classified according to the radiative performances and structure. Particular attention is also paid to the models used in simulation and experiment, as well as some key performance parameters and technologies in the process of antenna design. This extensive summary of UWB antennas for WCE systems will help to understand the prospects and challenges in this field.INDEX TERMS Ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna, wireless capsule endoscope (WCE) system, antenna design.

The development of remote health monitoring systems has focused on enhancing healthcare services’ efficiency and quality, particularly in chronic disease management and elderly care. These systems employ a range of sensors and wearable devices to track patients’ health status and offer real-time feedback to healthcare providers. This facilitates prompt interventions and reduces hospitalization rates. The aim of this study is to explore the latest developments in the realm of remote health monitoring systems. In this paper, we explore a wide range of domains, spanning antenna designs, small implantable antennas, on-body wearable solutions, and adaptable detection and imaging systems. Our research also delves into the methodological approaches used in monitoring systems, including the analysis of channel characteristics, advancements in wireless capsule endoscopy, and insightful investigations into sensing and imaging techniques. These advancements hold the potential to improve the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring, ultimately contributing to enhanced health outcomes for patients.

“…WMCE provides accurate diagnostic information by establishing a communication link between the in-body device and outside equipment [1][2][3]. In WMCE systems, the antenna is one of the most pivotal components, which can ensure information transmission [4] rate in the link. The variable dielectric constants of human tissues cause the impedance mismatch of the antenna, which deteriorates the communication link.…”
